Abstract:
Post-traumatic stress disorder is an adjustment disorder combining psychological and physical symptoms. Faced with the pain associated with post-traumatic stress disorder, it is important to know how to differentiate between the pain linked to the physical injury at the time of the traumatic event and the psychogenic pain. Identifying these pains and studying their aetiology, combined with an assessment of the patient's psychological state and life history, enables multi-disciplinary care to be put in place to improve the patient's prognosis and can help to improve recognition of these disorders.
